First, the franchise tags. All four were all of the non-exclusive variety, meaning starting March 11 Orakpo, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy and New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk are free to negotiate a long-term deal with any other team.

They won't get a sniff, however, because the compensation owed by the signing team to a tagged player's previous club is two first-round draft picks. Not even Graham is worth that.
